New York City's new mayor, Zohraan Mamdani, has strongly criticized the US military action in Venezuela, where the country's president, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife were arrested. Maduro and his wife are expected to be transferred to New York to face federal charges, but according to Mamdani, this action is unacceptable.
In a strong post on social media, the mayor stated that the unilateral attack on a sovereign state constitutes an act of war and a clear violation of federal and international law.
He said he has been notified of Maduro's arrest and transfer to a federal prison in the US, and added that this development also has a direct impact on the Venezuelan community in New York, where tens of thousands of citizens of Venezuelan origin live.
Full post
I was briefed this morning on the capture by the US military of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, as well as their planned incarceration in a federal facility here in New York City.
A unilateral attack on a sovereign state is an act of war and a violation of federal and international law.
This open pursuit of regime change not only impacts abroad, but has a direct impact on the citizens of New York, including the tens of thousands of Venezuelans who call this city home. My focus is on their safety and the safety of every New Yorker, and my administration will continue to monitor the situation and provide guidance as appropriate.
